What is the dating law in Jamaica? Presently in Jamaica, the age of consent is 16 years, which means that having sexual intercourse with an underage girl, even if she ?gives the go-ahead?, or even initiates it, is considered statutory rape, since the law determines that a girl under 16 is not competent to give sexual consent.
